Myofascial release
Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure and stretch to ease tension in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. Mirek Werykowicz, RMT, provides it as a mobile service across Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington and Milton.
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around muscles throughout the body. Myofascial release uses gentle, sustained pressure and slow stretching to help ease restriction in this tissue, which can support easier movement and reduced tightness.
Best for
- Broad tightness that does not feel like a single "knot"
- Restriction that affects how an area moves
- Tension across larger regions such as the back or shoulders
- People who prefer slower, sustained techniques
Good to know
- For a specific tender point, trigger point therapy may be more direct.
- For a medical condition affecting your tissues or skin, check with your physician first.
What to expect
Myofascial work is slower than a typical massage. Mirek applies gentle, sustained pressure and holds it, giving the tissue time to ease, rather than using quick repetitive strokes.

Questions about myofascial release
What is myofascial release and what does it do?
Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure and gentle stretch on the fascia, the connective tissue around your muscles. It aims to help ease restriction in that tissue, which can support easier movement and reduced tightness. The pace is slower and more sustained than a standard massage stroke.
What is the difference between massage and myofascial release?
A typical massage uses repeated strokes on the muscles. Myofascial release focuses on the fascia, using slow, sustained holds and gentle stretch rather than quick strokes. In practice Mirek often blends the two, using myofascial techniques where broad tissue restriction is the issue.
How do I know if I need myofascial release?
If your tightness feels broad and movement-limiting rather than like a single sore spot, myofascial techniques may help. You do not need to decide in advance: Mirek assesses the area at your visit and chooses the approach, blending myofascial release with other techniques as needed.
